"Subject to no development of additional shock, it will be time to moderate restrictive monetary policy in reasonably short order," Lagarde added and said that they are observing a disinflationary process that is moving according to the expectations.
She further noted that geopolitical events' impact on commodity prices are not very significant so far.
